The cow head picture is a classic art oil painting from 1551 called “A Meat Stall with the Holy Family Giving Alms” to put it into context.

Not abandonment but neglect is a major part of one of main character’s backstory. This is shown in flashback sequences.

Another adult character has trauma about his childhood and being sent away from Korea to America and apparently fending for himself in K-Town? This character occasionally starts ranting about his childhood and it’s not 100% clear what happened exactly.

The two main characters do it a lot. But the show acknowledges they're very toxic problematic people.

Stalking is a huge part of the series. The entire series is about the two main characters stalking each other. Many lines are crossed.

In S1E4, there’s a scene where a little girl (maybe 5ish?) is dropped by her mom. You hear a pretty heavy thud from the fall. I’m mentioning it because it’s somewhat unclear if the drop was accidental… Her mom struggles with impulse control —especially when it comes to anger responses— and the child was “acting out.” The child is otherwise loved and well cared-for (other than her parents frequently bribing her with candy against her doctor’s recommendation).

Also in episode 4, a character makes a joke about calling child protective services for “hitting a child.” This is a dig at his little brother (who I’m pretty sure is 20-something?) to imply that he’s immature.

In S1E9, a little girl ends up being a hostage to a group of hapless criminals. She witnesses some violence but is not mistreated. Although she is in a pretty scary/dangerous situation, she doesn’t seem to realize it and has a great time.

Kinda? There is a focus on how a main character’s emotional neglect as a child led to their destructive actions in the present.

There is a scene where the characters think they are going to eat magic mushrooms (they are just regular mushrooms). Two characters get high on cannabis in a hotel room, there is a scene with hallucinations caused by poisoning.

S1
A character who is often infantilized thorough the show (but is an adult) gets in a sexual relationship with a main character who's been catfishing him and lied about a 10 year age gap (approx)

She sends him a flirty picture (butt pic/non graphic) while he's still unaware and their relationship is considered romantic from his pov. They only start having sex after he knows her true identity.

___

At some point another character almost masturbates to the flirty picture not knowing it's a catfish but gets interrupted.

S1E9 is when the crushing scene happens. It’s pretty drawn out, lots of audio gore. Skip 0:17:30 until 0:18:20.

The least likable character’s head doesn’t get squashed, but their body gets squashed pretty graphically.

again, someone is crushed to death with their lower body, only audibly and not visibly - though you can see their face during it and they’re spluttering blood

there’s blood from fights and the most graphic things to happen are blood going on the window from getting shot in the head and someone getting the whole lower half of them crushed in a elevator door.

i wouldn’t say it’s excessive, but blood is very prominent

S1E9: A character spits blood after their lower body is crushed. Another character vomits after witnessing this. Probably skip 17:30-18:30 to avoid it entirely.

S1E10: Lots of vomiting throughout episode after two characters eat poisonous berries.

No but the riots following Rodney King’s murder come up occasionally, very briefly. No flashbacks of the police brutality are shown but I thought it might be worth mentioning in case anyone has trauma around that specific event.

Yes. Although no mental illness is ever named, a main character is shown to have suicidal tendencies, disordered eating, and is described as "sad" by those close to him. This character engages in self-destructive behavior and behavior that emotionally harms those around them until it starts escalating to physically violent actions.

No, but there is talk of a birth experience which can be triggering if you have experienced still birth as many of the emotions described are similar to those experienced after a stillbirth.

A middle aged woman catfishes a significantly younger man. Not with the intention of doing anything sexual with him but (spoilers) they do end up in a sexual relationship anyway.

At one point, the young man’s older brother tells her she’s sick for having sex with a “child” … I’m reasonably sure the young man is not actually a minor but his age is never explicitly stated in the series.

A character gets their lower body crushed by a heavy steel door. It was sudden and very gory in my opinion. You see her cough up blood as the door continues to slam into her. You hear it and see parts of it.

Most of the actual gun violence occurs in S1E9.

In S1E2, a woman masturbates with a gun.

In S1E10, characters shoot at each other but miss.
